Abstract: Electric impact wrench is an important tool used in manufacturing and maintenance services. It has complex mechanism and its operation involves dynamic events occurring at vastly different time scales, which poses challenges ...

Abstract: The authors report on a regular, interdecadal oscillation in a three-dimensional ocean circulation model. The model is run using box geometry of size comparable to the North Atlantic and is driven by a constant, zonally ...

Abstract: An idealized, three-dimensional model, of size comparable to the Atlantic, is used to study interdecadal variability of the thermohaline circulation (THC). In most of the model experiments, salinity is kept uniform and ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the hindcasting of interdecadal climate events using an ocean circulation model driven by different combinations of time-varying surface flux, sea surface temperature (SST), and sea surface salinity ...

Abstract: This paper develops an analytical model to investigate the effect of inhomogeneity in races on the dynamic behaviors of rolling bearing. The governing differential equations are obtained based on the Hertz contact theory ...

Abstract: In this paper, the physical mechanism of the polar halocline catastrophe (PHC) is reexamined with emphasis on the role played by the surface heat flux. It is argued that, in a coupled ocean?atmosphere system, thermal changes ...

Abstract: Pure SiO2 aerogel has a strong light transmittance in the infrared wavebands from 3.0 to 8.0 μm, and an opacifier could efficiently reduce aerogel's radiative thermal conductivity (λr), especially at high temperatures ...

Abstract: Compared to rigid materials, people have a distinct tactile perception when touching flexible materials. Moreover, adding micro-patterns to the surface enhances the tactile experience even further. This sensation arises ...
